Swimming Lessons

Kate is learning to be a fish. It is slow progress but we're working on it. Right now her only interest is in the activities she can do independently. This includes climbing along the wall, climbing out, and climbing back in. Oh and if we are singing she is happy.

That's Kate's buddy Hadley in the background with her mom Barbie. Kate has a lot to learn from Hadley about being adventurous in the pool.
We sing a song about pouring water on many different body parts. Kate has to be in charge of the bucket of course.

We went to an open swim today and Kate has definitely come a long way in her comfort in the water and willingness to try her new skills from swim lessons. It was nice to see she is absorbing the instruction even if she won't display it during lessons.
